HSCE Language Arts

CE 1.3.6 Use speaking, writing, and visual presentations to appeal to audiences of different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds and experiences (e.g., include explanations and definitions according to the audience’s background, age, or knowledge of the topic; adjust formality of style; consider interests of potential readers).
CE 1.5.4 Use technology tools (e.g. word processing, presentation and multimedia software) to produce polished written and multimedia works (e.g., literary and expository works, proposals, business presentations, and advertisements).
CE 2.1.1 Use a variety of pre-reading and previewing strategies (e.g., acknowledge own prior knowledge, make connections, generate questions, make predictions, scan a text for a particular purpose or audience, analyze text structure and features) to make conscious choices about how to approach the reading based on purpose, genre, level of difficulty, text demands and features).
CE 2.2.2 Examine the ways in which prior knowledge and personal experience affect the understanding of written, spoken, or multimedia text.
  • Students will be able to be able to look at a piece of literature and see the different ways literature can be analyzed. They will share how their own experiences and viewpoints differ by sharing why they perceive things the way they do. This will give students a better understanding on how each person sees things differently. Students will need to bring in previous knowledge that everyone thinks differently. Students will read and write their own personal analysis of the literature. They will convey their personal message using software to illustrate their own personal meanings. This will work on communication and conceptual understanding, and model creativity. Language and culture go hand-in-hand and by respecting how individuals and cultures think differently this will show respect for global learning.
CE 3.1.1 Interpret literary language (e.g. imagery, allusions, symbolism, metaphor) while reading literary and expository works.
CE 3.2.1 Recognize a variety of literary genres and forms (e.g. poetry, drama, novels, short stories, autobiographies, multi-genre texts, satire, parody, allegory) and demonstrate an understanding of the way in which genre and form influence meaning.
CE 3.3.1 Explore the relationships among individual works, authors, and literary movements in English and American literature (e.g. Romanticism, Puritanism, the Harlem Renaissance, Postcolonial), and consider the historical, cultural, and the societal contexts in which works were reproduced.
